What do you think?

An intriguing conversation with my 9 year old daughter:

Her: Mom, why do we call people in church brother and sister?
Me: Because God is our Father.
Her: So who’s the mother?
Me: Can I get back to you on that one?
Her: I have asked other people that and they don’t know either.

Love it :)

My next thought (as if I were replying in the conversation) went something like this: "That's one thing that is so amazing about God- He's totally complete- like a mom and a dad all in one!"

which I'm sure would be followed by many more questions that I'd be stumped by...

Good Luck :)

I like Amy's reply. I was thinking something along those lines too. I like when kids stump us. :)
